## Slow, risky, and incomplete intelligence collection

CIRAT needed a faster, safer way to conduct complex intelligence investigations across massive volumes of open-source data. By deploying Insights Investigator, Babel Street’s agentic AI capability, the team transformed manual workflows into an automated, secure intelligence operation.

## Understanding the threat

- CIRAT analysts relied on manual OSINT collection, requiring extensive time to sift, validate, and compile data
- Critical intelligence gaps emerged due to fragmented sources and constant data influx
- Investigating sensitive environments like the dark web exposed analysts to operational security risks

*The Solution*

## Agentic Risk Intelligence with built-in protection

By modernizing its intelligence workflows with agentic AI and secure access to potentially dangerous data sources, CIRAT significantly improved efficiency, reduced analyst risk, and delivered faster, more accurate intelligence to its clients.

## Powerful outcomes

- Automated data collection and analysis at scale
- Enabled natural language and flexible search workflows for faster discovery and investigation
- Introduced a secure intelligence buffer, allowing analysts to safely monitor social and dark web data without direct exposure
